Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh on the Late Late Show.

There is a lot of love for Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh on Twitter after his appearance on last night's Late Late Show...

Speaking in a pre-recorded interview with stand-in host Miriam O'Callaghan from his home where he has been self-isolating to stay safe from the Covid-19 pandemic, the legendary GAA commentator, who turns 90 later this year, retains a positive and optimistic outlook on matters despite the threat posed by the coronavirus.

This is good programming from @rte on what could be a frightening night in Ireland. For generations of Irish people, Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh is a familiar and reassuring voice, and what he says here is positive and beautiful. Maith an fear. https://t.co/ANptgFKrmW

Great seeing the amazing and ever engaging Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh @rte on The Late Late Show. His delightful way of using Irish and English in the same sentence made him my favourite sports commentator bar none. A total pleasure to listen to.

One man who always finds the right words Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh quoting his grandmother ‘dúiseacht le dúthracht le breacadh an lae!’ Start every day with enthusiasm! A national treasure. #LateLateShow
